What Cliches Do You Not Want to Hear in 2013?

[Skippy123]

Prolly.

Makes my ears bleed.

people say that?! too funny! I must live under a rock!

 

[Skippy123]

"It is what it is" is the most useless statement I ever heard. What else could it be but what it is?

I have said that one every once in awhile!

this thread is

 

[LAJennifer]

This one may be controversial, but here goes:

Blessed

It is so overused.

Agree!

 

[Laila619]

That's gay. (I immediately hate people when I see this posted on FB!!!)
That's retarded.
YOLO
anywho (I have no idea why, but I hate it!)
and one that I haven't heard anyone mention yet in this thread and what I am likely going to hear in the next year.... preggers or preggo.
Blech!

I hate preggers/preggo. Sounds so silly and juvenile.

 

[Dancing Fire]

What does YOLO mean?

a near by county to Sacto ..

Hi, I say preggo all the time!

 

[KaeKae]

amazing (or worse, aMAZing)
literally
baby bump
baby mama/baby daddy
the misuse of I for me. (sometime, me IS the proper word to use)

 

[amc80]

the misuse of I for me. (sometime, me IS the proper word to use)

And more often than people think.

Exactly!

(and I wish I could fix that typo....sometimes, not sometime!)

 

[Dougsgirl]

OK... This thread is hilarious!!
But I must confess... I have teenagers, and so some of these words/phrases are actually not annoying to me but sweet and funny and remind me of my 18 year old daughter and her girlfriends.

I get a chuckle out of "totes adorbs", but I don't love "jelly" or "prolly". And I loathe "like".
My daughter has a friend (whom I adore) who uses it 75 times in every sentence!!
"And I was, like, totally getting ready and this song, like, came on and I was like, OMG! I. LOVE. THIS. SONG! And I, like, turned up the radio SO LOUD that my roomie was like, DUDE! But I was, like, YOLO, this song is like the BEST SONG EVAH!!!"

Seriously... I have a very hard time listening to what she is actually trying to say because I find myself counting the "likes"!!

I also confess that I use "It is what it is".
Sometimes, when something just sucks and all you can do is deal with it because there is no changing it... Well... It is what it is.

My BIGGEST pet peeve though... text-speak. Arrrggghhhh!!! Especially when the person is NOT texting!
I can't tell you how many times I've gone on Craigslist and seen ads written in all lowercase, with no punctuation, misspelled words, and text-style abbreviations. I have made a personal vow that I will never buy something from someone who can't write a decent ad and a complete sentence!!

I also hate bad grammar. My personal non-favorite... "needs"
"The baby needs changed". The car needs washed. The lawn needs mowed".
The baby NEEDS TO BE changed!!!

DUDE... Are you like KIDDING me?? I literally cannot STAND it when ppl use bad grammar! They like srsly need to get a LIFE and pull their heads out and stop being so totes annoying! OMG! Whatev. I am SO like OVER it.

 

[KaeKae]

Dougsgirl...get out of my head! (actually, that's another one )
And, your last line 'I'm so over it.' Another line I'd be happy never hearing again.

This kills me every time I see it. I have deleted people off of facebook for this! If you don't have a status that I can understand and read (not decipher), then I don't want to see it.

 

[CJ2008]

baby mama/baby daddy

You know, I kept trying to think which cliches annoy the heck out of me and for the most part I either don't hear them that often (because yes, if I heard someone say jelly or prolly all the time my head would explode) or they don't annoy me that much.

But baby mama/baby daddy makes my skin crawl.

ETA: OK I see a few more that people listed:

Preggers/Preggo
Anywho (especially when a man says it)

 

[Lady_Disdain]

"I am loving" for enjoying some passing fad. "I am loving bubble necklaces right now".

I hate the juxtaposition of present continuous (which implies a state that is liable to change in the near future) and love, which, to me, does have an implication of something long lasting and not flavour of the week.

This is how I feel! I do about half of the things on this thread! And I wonder if the people who post them has blocked me already! Hahaha!

I also hate bad grammar. My personal non-favorite... "needs"
"The baby needs changed". The car needs washed. The lawn needs mowed".
The baby NEEDS TO BE changed!!!

I've never heard that, but I'm pretty sure it would drive me insane.

My college roommate used to say stuff like "Do you want to come with?" and it drove me CRAZY. WITH ME, WITH ME!

Totes Zoolander!!!!!!!

Actually I had no idea what totes was until someone explained it here...Seriously I thought it was a referral to something from LV and I was confounded as to how THAT could be offensive!!!

cheers--Sharon

 

[JewelFreak]

I thought totes was those gloves.

BABY BUMP! I was about to put that up when I saw KaeKae's post. +1, no +1000. In magazines, this is usually accompanied by a photo of daddy with a possessive & patronizing hand on mommy's you-know-what, looking self-congratulatory; well geeze, nobody else has ever done that in the history of the world. I'd holler, "Getcher mitts off me!"

"I"m not loving that..." Like, I'm not loving that decor, or I don't love her dress. Why the heck should you?

"throw up in my mouth" -- makes me want to do it. Lately I hear that all the time -- where else are you gonna throw up, I always wonder. And do I care?

[Lady_Disdain]

I am guilty of quite a few myself. I am also guilty of some fashion choices that would leave a fashionista gagging, questionable music choices, food combinations that would leave some people quite confused.

When I was reading this, I was smugly applauding myself for being so easy going and not bothered by this stuff until I came to this one. I hate it! Most likely because my inlaws do it constantly. They also switch "leave" and "let". They are very educated but stubbornly make these grammar "choices" in deference to their farm town roots. It drives me batty. (They are otherwise wonderful people!)

THIS!! Hahahaha!! I am guilty of many of these, as well!!
I even stoop so low as to use "love" in a phrase like this.... "Mmmmmm.... I do love me some Channing Tatum!"
(Ghetto speak, I know. But still guilty!)

However... Another one that I HATE...
When an employee is helping you (say at the grocery store) and they leave you with "Have a good one."
Have a good WHAT?? Taco? Bowel movement? Drive home?
Seriously... why is so hard to say "Have a nice day" ?

And when I tell someone "Thank you" and they say "No problem". Or "You bet". How about just "You're welcome"??

First world problems. Sorry, but I really don't need someone to remind me that I am privileged. After all, we're on a diamond forum.

It could be worse. Usually spoken by someone who has no clue as to how bad it really is.

And this one is the worst: smart-tard. It's just so wrong that it took me a bit to figure out what it meant. A mother wanted it embroidered onto a headband for her daughter to wear to school. Really????

Ooh, I hate "first world problems" too. I think people forget that we are on a diamond forum. A place where people that have extra money laying around can buy pretty sparkly stuff. It's not like we are a "save the orcas" forum. Which I would like to join...

This whole thread is hilarious and I agree with everything! Learned a few new things too!!!

The first time I heard first world problems was on this site

 

[Christina...]

I don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but I despise 'rocks' 'This rocks!' 'You Rock!' 'Dude this song rocks!'

Ugh!! It just makes me want to throw one at you!

Thank you for the smile

"give it up for..."

I'm not sure why this one grates on me... maybe just because I'd prefer to know what "it" is before I give it away? Anyhow, I hope it goes away soon.
